After some remarks, the gentlemen already
nominated were approved, viz: James Camp
bell, John Richardson, H. p. Baldwin, w. P

out that he would address the people at the

discourse by Rev. j. Waiamau, who is stay
ing here at present, the King came forward
TO the platform below the pulpit, and spoke
at some length regarding the changes that
had lately taken place, advising the natives
to 60 TO the proper officers and take the oath
10 support the new Constitution, and thereby
qualify themselves 10 vote. His address was
listened to very eagerly by his hearers.
Mr.. AhOlo and the Governor also made
short addresses, approving Of the Kings adj
vice 10 them.
His Maiesty was planning to proceed or in
the hinau on Monday night, and for this
purpose went down to the wharf, where he
was met BY Minister Brown. from Honolulu,
who took him aside and persuaded him TO
remain and not proceed on to Hawaii, as
had been his plan. In the morning, 1t trans
pired that he and Mr.. Brown would return to
Honolulu IN the steamer Lehua, but for what
reason has not yet been learned here.
